That should work. The web site I listed shows the recommended compressors.

How high is the bottom of the coop from the ground. Question might already have been asked, however didn't see it if it was. Thanks

I use one of these. Staple the HC then run a bead of outdoor glue on your furring strip and use the same gun with brad nails to fasten that over you HC. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools-compressors/air-nailers-staplers/18-gauge-2-in-1-air-nailerstapler-68019.html

I have two roos one with four hens and one with another four hens. They are all about a year old. Eggs were fresh I get 8 a day so I saved up 20 (3 days) and set them the next.

I have 2 sections in my pen, 1 roo to 4 hens in each side. Have no problems and get 8 eggs every day. Been eating them for a year no problems.

Retooled by brooder pen. The way I had it was it was up high with doors on the side, slide out poop tray closed on 3 sides and light mounted inside. Worked ok, however sometimes I would open the side door and quail would fly out while changing water/feed. I have now cut it down so it is lower...

Set 20 eggs this morning. I set 60 last time and was expecting about 50% hatch or less since I was using a homemade incubator. 48 hatched and that was way more birds than I was ready for. Never again. Hoping for about 15.
